Changelog for 5.8.3 (v5-stable)

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , ,

Version 5.8.3 [V5-stable] (rgerhards), 2011-07-11

  • systemd support: set stdout/stderr to null – thx to Lennart for the patch
  • added support for the “:omusrmsg:” syntax in configuring user messages
  • added support for the “:omfile:” syntax in configuring user messages
    Note: previous outchannel syntax will generate a warning message. This
    may be surprising to some users, but it is quite urgent to alert them
    of the new syntax as v6 can no longer support the previous one.

    platforms. Thanks to Chris Metcalf for the patch
